Some of my daylilies (even after the freezing weather) have not died back yet. I have so many new ones this year I'm assuming that they will all die back, but maybe not do it while I can still get outside to remove the leaves. Should I go ahead and cut back the green leaves now along with pulling the dead foilage, and do I need to put a fungicide on them this Fall just to be sure I don't end up with rust in the Spring? Several of the plants have so much rust it's pathetic looking. Before I introduce any more new ones into the garden I'll make sure they are rust free in the future hopefully. I'm just trying to decide if I still need to apply a fungicide this Fall so I can order it now. If it weren't for the fact that I'll be on a garden tour next summer I wouldn't worry about it so much. Sorry
Also, can rust live on garden tools?
